Bacon Crusted Frittata Muffins

These are one of my favorite things to cook; they’re easy, pretty fast, and they save extremely well. Cook them in bulk and then you have breakfast for the entire week!

When I cooked these, I tried 2 different methods of making the bacon basket. The way listed below had the best results – with the others, the eggs leaked completely through to the sides and the bacon curled up as it was cooking – making it more of a frittata muffin with a curl of bacon in the middle.

They save extremely well. You can freeze or refrigerate them. I prefer to refrigerate them so that I can have them for breakfast again when I am in a rush. I will normally put them in the microwave for 45-60 seconds, and they come out great!

As always, let me know how you like them in the comments below, or tell us your own twist.

The Execution

2. Cut your bacon slices in half and mold them around the outsides and bottom of each well in a cupcake tray. You should use about 2 slices of bacon per well, sometimes more to fill in excess gaps.

3. Bake the bacon baskets in the oven for 15 minutes to pre-cook them. While the bacon is cooking, whisk together some eggs, cream, and your spices. Feel free to add any extra fresh herbs of your preference.

4. Put 1-2 tbsp. of cheddar cheese at the bottom of each bacon fritatta. Put about 1/4 cup of egg mixture into each bacon mold, trying your best to not let any egg leak out. Put them into the oven for an additional 12-15 minutes or until they start to brown on the top.

5. Remove from the oven and let cool. Serve or store for later!
